I not only get recognized - I get recognized from behind.

I not only get recognized - I get recognized from behind.

Honestly, I'm a shallow performer. I just go with the text and feel my way around it. There's not a whole lot of shaping.

I dream about 'Cheers.' Like when you go on a diet and you dream of pizza. I always think of those wonderful years. I loved working on it.

I get called to do a lot of labors of love... independent films on very small budgets. If I have the time and if the project speaks to me, it's better than sitting around, right?

I like New York.

I like journalists.

I like to keep busy.

I really enjoy travel, I enjoy the U.K., I enjoy Scotland, Glasgow.

Most of the holiday movies I enjoy, like 'It's a Wonderful Life,' don't really involve Santa.

Once in a while it can be a bit disconcerting to be so recognisable.

Every kid coming out of Harvard, every kid coming out of school now thinks he can be the next Mark Zuckerberg, and with these new technologies like cloud computing, he actually has a shot.

You have to believe. Otherwise, it will never happen.

I see no reason to keep silent about my enjoyment of the sound of my own voice as I work.

First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, 'I believe,' three times.

We citizens of the affluent countries tend to discuss our obligations toward the distant needy mainly in terms of donations and transfers, assistance and redistribution: How much of our wealth, if any, should we give away to the hungry abroad?

In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the idea of being thrown together with a group of people you might have a lot in common with, or nothing at all. You don't have the option of doing anything other than making your family relationships work - forever. I like that.

I used to always run off at the mouth and talk about people. I just didn't know that it would make a living for me.

When I was a boy in the late 1950s, the public library refused to stock books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. They were regarded as vulgar, ill-written potboilers.

I brought a Border Collie back home to Vancouver from Wales - where some of my ancestors are from - and needed to challenge him in other ways than just being my pet. So I investigated sheep herding and took a few lessons, and decided I was probably learning more than my dog!

Authors, like coins, grow dear as they grow old: It is the rust we value, not the gold.

Don't matter what they throw at us. Only angry people win football games.

It's better to burn out than to fade away.

I chose to be a working wife and mother. Why should I compromise on either?

You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way.

He who can not support himself, can not take his own decision.

Movies were always the goal, but I had a lot of goals. Twelve-year-old me wanted to do everything: act and sing and paint and dance.

I think future generations will say the late 20th century and the early 21st century was a time of great convulsions and upheavals.

Any party which takes credit for the rain must not be surprised if its opponents blame it for the drought.

'See Spot run!' is a perfect sentence in some ways. But I doubt the critics would say it was.

All I did was pray to God, every day. In prison camp, the main prayer was, 'Get me home alive, God, and I'll seek you and serve you.' I came home, got wrapped up in the celebration, and forgot about the hundreds of promises I'd made to God.

No one cares about the Davis Cup. How many people know I won five Davis Cups and seven majors, but that I rarely played the Australian Open?

I've been given so much, and if I can just give back a tenth of what I've been given, then it's all worth it.

One of the problems in the Navy is that tradition of being captain of the ship. And an awful lot of people can be retired in the Navy, get over it, get a life, and go on. But there's a lot who can't. And when they have to give up the ship, they got to be captain of something, every single day.
